User Stories and Acceptance Criteria is a practical one-day course for teams that already understand the underlying need but need a clearer way to express it for collaborative delivery. Participants distinguish needs, requirements, user stories and acceptance criteria, then practice writing stories that express user value without adding unnecessary solution detail.
The course develops the full story-refinement workflow: drafting useful stories, writing testable acceptance criteria, splitting oversized stories, surfacing assumptions and dependencies, and using collaborative refinement to remove ambiguity. It is deliberately methodology-neutral and does not make Scrum.org, IIBA or other certification/alignment claims. Participants finish with a coherent refined story set that is checked for clarity, value, testability and refinement quality.
